Thermal conductivity and competing orders in d-wave superconductors
Abstract
We derive the expression for the thermal conductivity in the low-temperature limit T 0 in d-wave superconductors, taking into account the presence of competing orders such as spin-density wave, is-pairing, etc.. The expression is used for analyzing recent experimental data in La2-xSrxCuO4. Our analysis strongly suggests that competing orders can be responsible for anomalies in behavior of thermal conductivity observed in those experiments.
